GRANT WRITING WORKSHOP SERIES

Presented by: Dr. Eric Shulenberger

Wednesday, January 9, 2013

Brown Hall Auditorium (Room 108)

The Office of Sponsored Programs is excited to offer a grant writing workshop series presented by Dr. Eric Shulenberger. Four sessions are available in this workshop series on January 9, 2013;

Grant Writing Workshop: Proposals – Deep Strategy and Tactics

9 a.m. to Noon

Dr. Shulenberger will discuss grant proposal topics from his unusually well-grounded, extremely practical, and honest perspective as to what works, what doesn’t work, and why. This is not so much a "how to write" course as it is about (a) how the proposal selection/evaluation system REALLY works, (b) how to PLAN a proposal before launching on writing it, and (c) how to deal successfully with two very important groups - program managers and reviewers. Along the way we will cover lots of ideas about the actual writing - but good, thorough planning is critical to success.

Grant Writing Workshop: Proposal Resubmissions

1:30-2:20 p.m.

Researchers wanting tips for rewrites and resubmissions will be especially interested in attending this session.

Grant Writing Workshop: Making the Move to Federal Grant Opportunities

2:45-3:45 p.m.

Researchers considering the leap to federal grant proposals are encouraged to attend.

Grant Writing Workshop: Forming Collaborative Research

4:00-5:00 p.m.

Discussion of considerations and strategies to form collaborative research teams and projects.
